Make It Real Learning Arithmetic II workbook

Introduction

The Make It Real Learning Arithmetic II workbook focuses on real-world situations that may be effectively
analyzed using arithmetic concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, decimals, statistics, large and small numbers. This book suits best grades 4-7.

From working with iPad sales numbers to calculating currency exchanges and baseball statistics, learners get to use basic math skills in meaningful ways. Each activity integrates real world information, companies, and issues (e.g. Nostalgic Candy, Apple iPads, price of gasoline, currency exchange, baseball statistics), not just "realistic" data.

The workbook includes 10 activities focused on helping learners master the Common Core State
Standards for Mathematics (www.corestandards.org). Each workbook activity focuses on making sense of mathematics in a real-world
context. Mastering mathematics means more than memorizing procedures. Learners need to discover how to think critically and use mathematics as a tool to better understand the world.

There are multiple ways to use the activities of the book in a teaching environment. The activities are an excellent tool for stimulating mathematical discussions in a small group setting. Due to the challenging nature of each activity,
group members are motivated to brainstorm problem solving strategies together. The
interesting real world contexts motivate them to want to solve the problems. The
activities may also be used for individual projects and class-wide discussions.

As a ready-resource for teachers, the workbook also includes completely worked-out
solutions for each activity. To make it easier for teachers to assess student work, the
solutions are included on a duplicate copy of each activity.
